Description William Hubbs gentoo-dev

2011-06-05 21:54:05 UTC

This information is taken from the NEWS file included with udev-171:

"Udev logs a warning now if /run is not writable at udevd
startup. It will still fall back to /dev/.udev, but this is
now considered a bug."

Currently, we are patching udev to remove this warning. I do not feel that this is the way we need to go; especially since I have heard that udev is planning to make a writable /run directory a requirement. The warning is there to give us time to fix our other packages to create this directory.

we should fix our other packages, specifically baselayout, to create the /run directory (see bug #361349).

Since udev will currently run without a /run directory, that bug is not a blocker to this bug.

However, what I want to do on this bug is generate a udev-171-r1 which drops our patch to remove this warning.


Reproducible: Always

I also vote for adding run-support, but: Do we need the warning be printed for our users?

This should be solved now with openrc creating the /run directory.
